Description

This is the sort of white cotton shirting where the quality is all in the cloth itself. An Italian ex-designer fabric woven from 100% cotton, it has a superfine hopsack-style weave that gives the surface just enough texture to stop it feeling flat or overly formal. At around 129gsm, it’s a proper shirting weight with a beautifully smooth, naturally soft handle.

There’s a lovely balance to it: fine and refined without feeling flimsy, crisp enough for a smart collar and cuff but soft enough for a more relaxed shirt. Brilliant for classic men’s shirts, oversized women’s shirts, shirt dresses and neat blouses. If you’re after a really good plain white shirting, rather than simply a plain white fabric, this is it.

  • Blouses
  • Shirt dresses

A superfine hopsack-style weave gives this white cotton shirting just enough texture to avoid looking flat. At 129gsm it's smooth and soft, yet crisp enough for a smart collar and cuff, so shirts, blouses and shirt dresses are the best fit.

Care & washing

Allow 2-10% shrinkage to be on the safe side. Wash the fabric before making up, in the same way you'll wash the finished make, drying methods included, so it settles once rather than after it's sewn.

Test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash it. We can't accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.
